Emerald Lake Golf Club

Normally one of my favorite courses. Their usually well-maintained greens were in poor shape, tee boxes were shaggy, bunkers lacked sand. Generally seems like they just don't care like they used to. Pace of play was unusually slow, and even when we informed the clubhouse we never saw a ranger or any improvement.

I hope they get their act together, as I really like the layout.

have players fix divots other than that course is great

The course was in ok shape when we played. Definitely needed some TLC. The greens, and fairways had some scattered weeds throughout the course. Drainage was pretty poor as the bunkers were full of a water/sludge that smelled pretty badly (thankfully one of the other guys in the group had to deal with that mess). The greens were also full of ball marks that were never fixed. I don't blame the course fully for that, some people who play here have no golf etiquette. As we were getting ready to tee off, a twosome pulled up behind us and we let them play through thinking it would happen eventually as we were a foursome. As they were teeing off, two more groups of two pull up. In my head, if there were someone regulating pace of play, they could have asked the groups to become 1 foursome instead. Not bad for the value. I would definitely play there again.

This course was excellent! I will certainly play again many more times for the price I got from golfnow.com.

Beautiful day out.

Challenging...and SUPERB!

All of the rain this year has made golfing a true pleasue..

First time player at this course and was very surprised at how nice it was for the money. All the yardage markers I found to be very accurate. Also, Par 5 5th hole is one of the nicest holes around with the island green. Will definitely be back!!

Course is well maintained. Greens are in good shape. There is a need for the regulation tees and the senior tees to be separated more.

The course was a bit crowded on the front nine with a late Saturday morning tee time, but cleared up nicely at the turn. Fairways and tee boxes were well maintained, while there were a good amount of old ball marks on the greens. Greens still played fairly true.

I love the course layout and the beauty of the environment. Enjoy it every round of play and truly recommend to all level of golfers.

Pace off due to my pairing. I was a single walking and my usual pace is in line with the USGA standard Pace or little faster even on busy weekends. round took over 5 hours due to the 3 gentleman I was paired with.Drained more beers than Putts. I did walk an additional 9 where the pace was much better. completed the 3 rd 9 in just under 2 hours. Overall course condition's were good. had some weed issues in the fairways and around the greens. Chose this course based on the reviews stating best greens in Charlotte. Greens were simply ok. lots of pitch marks and greens look as though they had not been cut in a day or so. layout was challenging but not overly difficult.

The course was very plush and the greens were very receptive, but due to lack of divot repair, there were a lot of bad ball marks. The main problem was the lack of a ranger. We had to wait on every shot and could tell that one foursome was holding up at least 3 groups in front of us, and we were walking.

Emerald Lake GC is a wonderful course which challenges you on the par 3's and have a few long par 4's. Its a course Im comfortable with. And I will go back to.

Great course and I enjoyed playing at Emerald Lake. The weather did not co-operate with us but we made the best of it. The greens had tons of balls marks requiring attention, a result of laziness left behind from previous golfers. I would like to return on a better day for another round, I would recommend this course.

The course was in good shape. The staff and concessions were very cordial and friendly. Because of all the rain that we have gotten over the past month, the playing conditions were good and challenging. There was no waiting on other golfers so the pace of play was very good. The greens were in good shape despite all the rain also.

Emerald Lake was in great shape when I played (07/24/13). Fairways were plush with good lies, and greens rolled beautifully. Offered a great test, as all clubs come into play. New carts, and a 4 hour round, added to the experience.

on a scale from 1-10, I give it an 9. the day that I played the course had suffered and number of soaking rains around the area, even with that , the course played very well.

I played this golf course for the first time on their 20th straight day of rain. The course was wet but in great shape, especially the greens. These were the best putting surfaces I have seen this season. Fairways were in good shape, but wet. The rough was thick in some spots due to the rain and not being able to mow. Overall, I cannot wait to come back and play when the weather has not been so horrible. Great track.

The course wasn't in that great of shape. In fact both myself and my playing mate were often hitting from mud, sand, uncut grass right dead center in the fairway. The course needed some work. The greens were actually in very good condition although the spring downpours we have had in the past couple weeks made them slow and soft. It was 90% humidity the day we went so that doesn't help either. For the price, not complaining.

Best greens I've played so far this year. The course is in great condition. Where's the Clubhouse? It's been almost a year since Clubhouse burned down and still no sign of new one being built.

Clubhouse was lost in a fire last year and they are working out of a mobile unit. Course is a beautiful layout and challenging on several holes. It is usually in great condition but the greens were still recovering from last year's extreme heat. They are coming back nicely. It was cart path only on the day I played there due to heavy rains before.
